Tunica casinos are: Grand Casinos, Bally's Casino, Resorts Tunica Casino, Sam's Town Casino, Horseshoe Casino, Hollywood Casino, Sheraton, Fitzgerald's Casino, and Gold Strike Casino. Gamblers looking to stay close to an airport hub like Memphis, Tennessee, can gamble at one of the many casinos in Tunica, which less than an hour away. All gambling patrons of Mississippi casinos can expect to be treated to world class accommodations, live entertainment, and wonderful cuisine. From the rich soil of the Delta to the waters of the Gulf Coast, tourist and gamblers can find plenty of gambling at Mississippi Casinos. Locals and traveling gamblers to the Magnolia State will be greeted with the south's warmest welcome. Mississippi casinos have not only added to the economy but gave a new name to tourism in the state.
Mississippi legislature legalized the way for casinos to locate in the Magnolia state in the early 90's. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.
